The greatest value of \(f(x)=\cos \left(x e^{|x|}+7 x^{2}-3 x\right)\), $x \in[-1, \infty)$ is (A) \(-1\) (B) 1 (C) 0 (D) None of these

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: (D) None of these.

Step by step solution

01

Recall properties of the cosine function

The cosine function returns values in the interval [-1, 1], with the greatest value being 1. This occurs when the argument inside the cosine function is a multiple of 2Ï€ (i.e., \(\cos(2n\pi) = 1\) for n being an integer).
02

Analyze the given function

We have the function \(f(x) = \cos(x e^{|x|} + 7x^{2} - 3x)\). To find the greatest value of this function over the interval [-1, ∞), we will try to find when the argument inside the cosine function is equal to \(2n\pi\), for n being an integer.
03

Determine when the argument is a multiple of \(2\pi\)

We need to determine when \(x e^{|x|} + 7x^{2} - 3x = 2n\pi\) for some integer n. However, this is not a straightforward equation to solve analytically.
04

Try an approximated argument

Instead, let's try a closer interval for x and check if it's possible for the expression \(x e^{|x|} + 7x^{2} - 3x\) to be equal to \(2n\pi\): For \(x\in[-1, 1]\): - \(x e^{|x|}\) ranges between 0 and 1, the entire function's variation is small. - \(7x^{2}\) ranges between 0 and 7, which is insufficient for a cosine function that has period \(2\pi \approx 6.28\) - \(3x\) ranges between -3 and 3, not enough as well. This exploratory process shows that within this close interval, it's highly unlikely that we will obtain an argument of the cosine function that is a multiple of \(2\pi\).
05

Conclude the answer

Based on the steps above, we cannot find an x value in the range [-1, ∞) such that the argument inside the cosine function is a multiple of 2π, which means the function \(f(x) = \cos(x e^{|x|} + 7x^{2} - 3x)\) cannot achieve its potential maximum value of 1. Therefore, the greatest value of the function given the domain is: (D) None of these
